We Used Balance as the focal point for our latest project.

BALANCE is not the only useful element we used for our project- Using LINE and SHAPE to create a Positive and Negative space.

The shape of an animal was used twice in both the positive and negative space on a 12"x18" piece of paper.

The negative space that is white was also adorned with ZENTANGLE

WELCOME BACK!!

This year I will have 6th 7th and 8th graders.

6TH
I have 1 class of 6th grade in 2 groups. AB days on 1st period and CD days 1st period

7TH
On periods 2, 3, 5 & 7 I have 7th grade everyday for 1 quarter (10 weeks). After the 10 week quarter is over I will get another group of students for those periods.

8TH
The 8th graders I have are in the same room as my 7th graders at the same time but the share the same schedule as the 6th graders. So I have groups of 8th graders in periods 2, 5 and 7 all year in 2 groups on AB and CD days.

Confused yet? its ok so am I, but we all manage to get through the year and the kids have a pretty good experience while learning a lot about art and themselves in the process.
